Juneteenth
a Novel
Freedom and independence did not begin for everyone on July 4, 1776 in the United States. For those enslaved people of the Africa diaspora freedom would come on June 19, 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. That day is celebrated as Juneteenth, or Freedom Day. Despite the illegalization of slavery, there are some who not free and continue to fight for their liberation. In some ways, slavery did not end but adopted another name.
